Planning, construction and maintenance of forest* roads
Trees planting
Establishment of controlled flooding zones
Beach nourishment or replenishment.
It is the artificial placement of sand on an eroded shore to
maintain the amount of sand present in the foundation of
the coast, and this way to compensate for natural erosion
and to a greater or lesser extent protect the area against
storm surge (nourishment may also use gravel & small
pebbles, particularly for shore face). Beach nourishment also
often aims to maintain beaches (beach width for tourism
and recreational purposes)
Restoration and management of coastal wetlands and
rivers*
Establishment and restoration of riparian buffers.
A general, multi-purpose, riparian buffer design consists of
a strip of grass, shrubs, and trees between the normal
bank-full water level and cropland. Riparian Buffer Strips
are linear bands of permanent vegetation adjacent to an
aquatic ecosystem intended to maintain or improve water
quality by trapping and removing various nonpoint source
pollutants from both overland and shallow subsurface flow.
Buffer strips also provide (additional) habitat for aquatic
species and may result in increased recharge of
groundwater
